[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think working through the PTA will have a louder voice to make headway on these issues. The PTA President is well aware of specifics and can help guide the discussion to a more appropriate venue. A flipant answer at a Meet and Greet without an opportunity to develop a real solution wouldn't be progress. Parents and teachers want real solutions to problems in the school not lip service.[/quote]

No, no, no.

PTAs do a lot of good but MCCPTA is terrible at being the voice of parents. Its infected with the same shush up the complainers, reward complicit behavior and both intentionally and sometimes unintentionally works to support the MCPS system not the parents, students and teachers. Principals work to control the PTA leaders, give favors, subtle threats of retribution, reward them with more access and do whatever they can to keep the PTA quiet. The MCCPTA board has the same relationship with the central office. If they stay quiet then they get access and more things for their cluster.

Parents need to come out in numbers and raise these issues. Again, and again and again. Its the only way to change anything. [/quote]
